Buyer Resources

Buying a new home? A second home? Relocating? Getting ready to retire? Looking for investment property? You've certainly come to the right place. (Are you a first time home buyer? Check out the 2008 Housing Reform Bill)

Today, buying real estate can be rewarding and challenging, and your most satisfying and successful experience will be the result of a strong partnership between you and your agent. You'll want to prepare for your move by thinking through your goals and objectives for the move, quality-of-life issues, finances, logistics of the move, etc.

To help you with that process I've developed a proven and effective process to prepare for your move and to help you find that perfect new home. When you choose to partner with me, we'll begin by walking through a questionnaire designed to identify and capture those things that are most important to you.

Next, I'll develop a comprehensive work-up that provides you with information about potential areas that look like they 'fit the bill'. We'll then review that information and select a group of homes that look promising. We can move ahead from there, or, at your direction, I will personally preview the homes and provide you with information to help get to a manageable list of choices.  Finally, we'll schedule your visits to find your new home. 

With thousands of homes for sale in the Greater Columbia market, this is no small task. You really do need a good plan of attack - and you do need representation. Remember, the selling agent is tasked with getting the highest price possible for the seller. To counter that position, you should consider a BUYER'S AGENT who will work on YOUR BEHALF.
